How to obtain a guest license in Romania

The radio amateur licenses are issued in Romania by the General Inspectorate of Radio Communications (IGR, Inspectoratul General al Radiocomunicatiilor) from the Romanian Communications Ministry.

If the foreign person has a CEPT license he may operate for Romania using the call sign YO/his own call sign. However they should notify the General Inspectorate of Radio Communications ( Inspectoratul General al Radiocomunicatiilor) from the Romanian Communications Ministry.
